Lukas Kendall mentioned today that this summer FSM has a real holy grail coming. It's been released before but this will be near complete and unlimited.

Let the guessing begin.....

Goldsmith's Masada.

Edit: Of course, I might be the only one who finds this "sexier" than Twilight Zone: The Movie.

I would hope that if an expanded Masada gets released it would be a 2 disc set with Morton Steven's additional music. Although I wouldn't complain if just Goldsmith's music was released.

I'm gonna guess that perhaps Gremlins or Innerspace is the title.

Of course we still have the two Prometheus releases which should be finally announced in the upcoming weeks. One is a John Barry score and the second is a 2 disc set that features a film score that film historians consider to be one of the greatest film scores of all time.

If it is what I think it is, I'll be extremely happy and a majority of the board here will not.

And we also should be closer to Robert Townson's 1000 release at Varese Sarabande, quite a bit of speculation that it will be something very special.

Expect the next three FSM CDs to be one score apiece, $19.95 apiece, and two of them are expansions of Warner Bros. Records LPs. They are not as earth-shattering as Twilight Zone, but they are quality scores, now complete (or nearly so) and in terrific sound, probably to be released over the course of May. Oh, here's a hint! The two WB Records LPs (by different composers) were both orchestrated by Shuken and Hayes…think about who those two worked for, then check the WB Records catalog and you might find our titles.

We do have one CD scheduled for this summer that if anything will be MORE sexy than Twilight Zone: The Movie. A real Holy Grail that has been released before, but never complete. You can try to guess but you will only drive yourself crazy. In fact it's so "hot" we're going to pay the re-use fees for the unreleased music so it will be, like The Omega Man 2.0, an "unlimited" edition. (I don't like these feeding frenzies either…people should buy things because they want to listen to them, not because they are afraid of missing out!) I predict that someone will be able to guess this, but it will be so intermixed with wrong guesses, it won't be useful. Sorry to drive you crazy but you know you love it.

I took that to mean that the "holy grail" score was unrelated to the three 19.95 scores

Everything from post #85 onward in this thread should be pushed out to a new thread

This was Lukas' exact quote:

We do have one CD scheduled for this summer that if anything will be MORE sexy than Twilight Zone: The Movie. A real Holy Grail that has been released before, but never complete. You can try to guess but you will only drive yourself crazy. In fact it’s so “hot” we’re going to pay the re-use fees for the unreleased music so it will be, like The Omega Man 2.0, an “unlimited” edition.

Where did the "19.95" and "nearly complete" quotes come from?

Check the preceding paragraph.

Expect the next three FSM CDs to be one score apiece, $19.95 apiece, and two of them are expansions of Warner Bros. Records LPs. They are not as earth-shattering as Twilight Zone, but they are quality scores, now complete (or nearly so) and in terrific sound, probably to be released over the course of May. Oh, here’s a hint! The two WB Records LPs (by different composers) were both orchestrated by Shuken and Hayes…think about who those two worked for, then check the WB Records catalog and you might find our titles.

But you're right, I don't see "nearly complete" anywhere.

In a way I do see where KM is coming from. We've had a lot of Goldsmith lately, and as great as that is it'd be a nice surprise if it was someone/something else (BttF, Dracula, or another Williams being top of my list).

Now that's not saying that if it is Goldsmith I won't be right in line with the rest of you to get it ASAP. I certainly will.

Did you really just erase all the posts that mentioned what the next two FSM releases are? What's the point? Once its out there, it's out there. Erasing the posts won't change the fact that it's now known what they are

why was it known?

is it on any other boards, where people can instantly read it? or were you the only one - and only a coupple of people could see it.

FSM has explained several times why they're so secretive about their releases: there's always the possibility a deal falls through at the last minute.

yeah ,but that's their problem if it got leaked anyways . I dunno about erasing posts like that ,especially since it's not even anything illegal... We are not affiliated with FSM as far as I know of so your just making a personal call here

It would be like erasing the spoilers to a movie just because you feel like it
